Under offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, the New York Jets were known as a team that liked to place two tight ends on the field together. In 2022, LaFleur’s Jets utilized “12 personnel” packages (1 RB/2 TE/2 WR) on 22.4% of their offensive plays, according to NFL Next Gen Stats, which ranked ninth-highest in the NFL.
Nathaniel Hackett will take LaFleur’s place in 2023. And based on Hackett’s history, there is a chance the Jets could use 12 personnel packages even more frequently.
Hackett’s Denver Broncos led the NFL in 12 personnel usage this past season, utilizing the package on 30.
